The House v.

The House v. NCAA settlement fundamentally alters the landscape of college sports, and a key aspect of this change is how it reshapes the role of donors in compensating athletes. While it doesn't completely eliminate donor involvement, it dramatically shifts the direct payment mechanism, meaning donors generally cannot give directly to athletes in the same way they did through NIL collectives previously. Here's a breakdown of why this is the case:1. Direct University Payments Become Primary
